This property is close to the hospital and university. It is conveniently located next to Umeå Östra station and 2 supermarkets in walking distance. The room is spacious and the hotel offers buffets for breakfast, lunch and maybe dinner. It is a very good and practical option if you need accommodation in Umeå.

If you want to be close to the university hospital the hotel is the best choice but other than this I would recommend central hotels. Old and basic hotel, especially the bathrooms are very old style. Bed was comfortable. Breakfast can be improved.
